Do I get the hots for anyone
who flouts the authority of air stewards?
I almost choke on how dorky because
our best friend in the world died in
a nappy while fireworks went off
in the park opposite his house
and the temperature was as warm
as anything, as warm as shit,
and there wasn’t an ice-cream van
because it was 1 a.m. but I could still
hear it, and someone came and put
something mysterious into the bin.
And what they would have found there
if they’d looked would have been
even more mysterious.
Other stuff was going on like a syringe driver
and noisy gurgles and texts asking how
we are all getting on.
